It wasn't bright out. It was the opposite of bright outside. I don't want to say it was dark because it's been used as the opening descriptive for many, many chapters, and it's time to change that. So… you cannot begin to grasp the situation if you do not understand that it was not bright. The area was void of any light, save the glow of red and blue. Chuih awoke. He had landed in a small blue room, which badly needed dusting. Strange lights in the alien walls were set. A door, unlocked by the green light, was before him. Behind him was a smashed crate.
"Nap time is over! I'm glad that I brought that MDK coil suit to parachute my way to safety. Now where exactly am I?" Chuih wondered.
Chuih glanced around at the room. Nothing was obviously in the smashed crate, and moving would make it harder for his friends to find him. The HUmar decided it best to sit down and play POGs with himself until his friends showed up. As he flipped his favorite Dubya Bush POG, he noticed something he hadn't before. A message machine in the corner. "Hello?"
"I haven't studied all the characters yet, because I haven't seen the entire show yet, but I've got some useful information. This is the most important fact I've found. There was NO ancient civilization on Ragol. None! Nada! Zip! Nippo! Negatory! The big O! Zero! We didn't discover ruins. This is a spaceship. A gigantic spaceship."
Chuih glanced around at the room once more. With this new information, things radically changed. It's like one of those super cool plot twists, which, unfortunately, PSO lacks very much. I mean, we all thought it was some ancient ruins like in Skies of Arcadia, or Grandia II, or any of the Evolutions. But it was actually a big ol' spaceship!
"Ha! I told you there was no prior intelligent life on Ragol! Like, who's your daddy?!" Chuih blurted. "Say…wait a moment! If this is a big ass spaceship…then there's probably little air ducts and stuff I can go through! And then I can get to a control panel and find Red Ring ChuPea!"
With a little bit of skill and a lot of luck, Chuih managed to press against all the walls in the little blue room until a cold blue panel gave way. Chuih glanced inside and noticed the close, crammed quarters. It wouldn't be fun squeezing through here. Chuih sighed.
"Oh well. At least this way I can see what the walk through walls gameshark code looks like."
Clang! Clmop! Bang! Bonk! Every metallic noise possible echoed as Chuih stumbled through. Great waves of dust took into action with every mere slither of Chuih's body. To see ChuBei come here would be priceless.
The end of the line soon came. The hunter had no choice but to kick out the panel below him and come out. Unfortunately this proved a terrible mistake. Chuih was now at least fifty feet above the cold blue floor. And it was also unfortunate that the ground was crawling in Dark Gunners. Chuih gulped.
"At least those gunners haven't noticed me." Suddenly, a great neon sign flickered on, reading "Hunter Chuih is right here! Come and get him!"
"Whoa. Talk about prepared…" Chuih complemented. The dark gunners slid from their shells, their little bright red and green stalks looking his way. With tiny aura's around their "heads", photon shots fired into the ventilation shaft. Chuih, along with the several hundred pounds of wreckage, fell to the floor in an earth shattering clamor.
ChuPea's familiar voice started talking. A message machine must have been struck. "I'm now inside the ancient spaceship. Well, it's not just a spaceship. It's a… "casket." Something or somebody was sealed in this spaceship to remain buried here. What is IT? Why was something buried in such a matter? Anyway, I know a monster is sleeping in this cave. We've opened the forbidden door."
"It's a little too late now! Geez, why didn't ya tell us before we came in here with all these stupid monsters!" Chuih's rant was cut short by a laser grazing his blue ear. Chuih unsheathed his Thunder Claymore and scowled.
The Dark Gunners darted from left to right in a zig-zag motion, ever gaining on the bruised Hunter. Swinging the enormous monstrosity of a weapon, Chuih single handedly sliced through several Gunners. But with the sacrifice of a few Gunners came a lot of Kapu Dimenians and Del sabers. Chuih rubbed his eyes.
"This has got to be like a joke! Dude this sucks!" Chuih faltered.
Chuih had no option left but to slay the monsters. The room was large enough to enable him to use the herding technique, since monsters are stupid and slow. Several irritable minutes passed before the last Kapu Dimenian fell. But to Chuih's surprise, this did nothing more than spark the entrance of another round, this time featuring Dark Belras and an army of claws.
"Will it ever end! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Chuih screamed.
"Fear not Chuih!" Came a familiar sound.
"ChuBei and MAG are here!" The two jumped from two separate sides of the room. Chuih was pleased.
"It's about time guys! Now help me kill some monsters!" Chuih pleaded.
The trio set to work, maiming, dismembering, and gutting every villainous fiend in the blue-fogged room. As the machinery turned and pistons pumped, the EXP was being raked by a HUmar, a Ramar, and a MAG. The last Dark Belra fell as Chuih turned to see ChuBei's rifle.
"Hey thanks dude! We should celebrate with some POGs!" Chuih exclaimed.
"Twasn't nothing! After all…" The limelight suddenly engulfed ChuBei. He looked towards the south and took in a deep breath.
"~ When you feel lost in the night
When you feel your right ain't just right
Call on me and we'll be waiting
Count on me and we'll depend
Anytime that times get too tough
Anytime that your best is just aint enough
I'll be the one to make it better
I'll be there to protect you!
See you through!
I'll be there there when there is nothing
I won't lose!~"
MAG interjected when ChuBei retired from his signing, with his own version of the chorus. The south wall now reveals an enormous audience of Chu chu's and chu Chuettes. Chuih discovers that he's on a stage.
"~I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you for you I will!~"
ChuBei stepped back upstage where MAG turned three quarters to direct everyone's attention to the fat space mouse. ChuBei took over.
"~I will shield your heart from the rain
I will let you feel no pain
Oh these arm will be a shelter.
Know these arms won't let you down.
If there is a mountain to move, I will move that mountain for you
I'm here for you
I'm here forever
I will be your fortress
Tall and strong
I keep the strength
I stand beside you~"
"~I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you for you I will!~"
"~For you I will
Lay my life on the line
For you
I will find all hope
For you I will die
With every breath
With all my soul
I give my word
I give it all
Put your faith in me
And happily I will be~"
"~I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you for you I will!~"
" ~I will! I will! I will!
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you for you I will!~"
"I promise you
For you
I will~"
As ChuBei finished, the crowd went nuts in the stands. The clapping was so loud that even the Boomas on the surface heard. ChuBei and MAG each nodded, whereas Chu chus in Ruin monster costumes ran on to stage and bowed as well. Chuih stood confused beyond all reason. Roses fell onto the stage in such massive numbers that the cast members were soon swimming in petals.
Chuih finally came to his senses. "What the hell is goin' on?!"
MAG turned to his compatriot. "It's Chu Chu Star Online, the musical! Duh!"
"..Oh…K" Chuih accepted the fact.
"Boo! Boo! Dis is da worse performance I 'ave eva seen! Boo!" Came a voice from the crowd. Every one in the theater turned to see a horrible aberration. The Chaos Bringer was shouting at the stage. With sudden terror, the entire audience vacated the premises, as well as the cast members. Only ChuBei, MAG, and Chuih remained.
"…You really think so?" ChuBei sniffed.
"You were so incredibly 'orrible, I'll 'afta kill you!" The Chaos Bringer snorted. He then proceeded to charge the stage. The actors slash hunters just managed to dodge the attack.
"Don't worry! I got this one! Photon shot!" MAG screamed.
The world turned into a dark shade of purple again. Except this time, a creature resembling a dolphin appeared. With lights streaming up and down it's body, Estilla ran right through the centaur with such force that the C.Bringer instantly fell. When the summon was over, a door unlocked.
"Dude! You got Flipper 2020!" Chuih commented his apparatus.
"Yup! It's actually impossible too, seeing how your all hunters and all. Well c'mon kiddies! Let's go fer the gold! We gotta Hit 'Em High!" MAG demanded. And as he said this, the background music shifted to B Real, Busta Rhymes, Coolio, LL Cool J, & Method Man's Hit 'Em High.
"Bangin yo!" ChuBei evaluated.
Well, the three prepared themselves and ran through the door, slaying the poison spitters that had made the following halls home. One message machine in the hall reported the obvious. "Still moving… The ship's still operating!"
The group simply nodded it off. After several more minutes of 'trekkin, they found themselves in the final area of Ruins 2.
"I feel that this is the last room before we reach the teleporter." Chuih repeated.
Before them was an opened door. But between them and that door was an awful lot of space. That was a clue to a fight. Knowing this, the chu chu's sneaked into the area,being careful not to alert anyone of there presence.
"I can see you!" A dark voice bellowed. The trio turned to see a rather large Chaos Bringer looking over there shoulder. "Haha! Did you think you could escape?!"
"B-but your dead! Oh wait. You're dead to?…" ChuBei blabbered.
"Yup. Bwahahaha! Let's see if your good at fighting without future flipper as you are at acting!" The Chaos Bringer shouted.
"You know what, I f this was a game of B-ball, sure. But…" Chuih smiled.
"We gotta go! See ya round!" ChuBei finished. The mice bagan a crazed run towards the door.
Upon recalling this, Chuih later remarked. "When your running like that, everything becomes dark. There's a light at the end, inviting you. I don't know how to describe it, it's like a religious experience."
But back to the present. "Hoho! Let's see you dodge this!" The Chaos Brigner shot huge photon energy ball from his very weird looking gun arm thing. The walls were sliding off with every blast. Seeing how the mice were indeed actually dodging (without realizing it), the Chaos Bringer began a charge.
MAG noticed the C.Bringer catching up. "Hey people! Do the Braveheart thing!"
ChuBei's eyes shined as he thought of that scene from Mel Gibson's epic masterpiece. ChuBei stopped dead in his tracks and brought out his partisan.
The Chaos Bringer reared up on his back legs in an attempt to stop. With sheer luck, the Bringer managed to save himself from being impaled.
"Oh, you wanna play that way huh?! Braveheart it is!" The Bringer turned around, and from his posterior shot out a ball of lightning.
"Oh shit!" The trio said in unison. In an organized effort, they scrambled to the door and shut it right before the ball struck.
Chuih wiped his brow. "We need to stop rippin off so many movies."
They stepped into a small, red teleporter.
